Two sales. Two weeks. Two fantastic results across Mitcham and Nunawading.

James Lewis knows that a successful sale isn’t about following the same formula every time. It’s about reading the market, understanding the property, knowing the buyers and putting the right strategy in place to bring it all together.

And these two sales are a pretty good example of exactly that.

At 32 Hopetoun Street, Mitcham, a competitive auction saw the hammer come down at $1,115,000. The winning first homebuyers had inspected seven times, arrived on auction day with both sets of parents and, after an incredible two-party bidding battle, secured the home with just $100 left to spare.

Then came 24 Zander Avenue, Nunawading.

The home had been with the same owner since 1958, and when it came time to sell, there was a genuine hope it would go to another local family.

It did.

The buyers currently rent in the same street and plan to rebuild their family home in a location they already know and love. And in a lovely coincidence, they’re Hawthorn supporters, just like the owner.

Sold prior to auction for $1,152,000, the sale will also help fund the owner’s elderly mother’s aged care.

Two properties. Two very different campaigns. Two successful outcomes in two weeks.

For James, it’s the recipe that matters: the right strategy, the right level of experience and a genuine understanding of the people on both sides of the sale.

This one comes with 50 years of memories.

After half a century with the same owner, it was time for 24 Zander Avenue, Nunawading to find its next family. And it didn’t even make it to auction.

Sold prior for $1,152,000, the keys are now heading to a young family who get to make this home theirs.

We can only imagine how many moments have happened within these walls over 50 years, and there’s something really lovely about knowing a whole new set of memories is about to begin.

A big congratulations to our seller on saying goodbye after such a long chapter, and to the young family saying hello to theirs.

All three. All sold. One development successfully completed in Burwood.

With 3/47 Gillard Street now officially sold, the final townhouse at this brand-new development has found its buyer, completing the sale of all three residences for our seller.

This campaign wasn’t without its challenges. But persistence, commitment and the right strategy kept things moving, from the first sale right through to the last.

Units 1, 2 and 3 are now all spoken for.

For our seller, it means the successful completion of an entire development project. For our team, it’s a result we’re incredibly proud to have delivered.

Congratulations to our seller and to all three new owners who now get to call Gillard Street home.

We don’t like to play favourites, but today’s auction at 32 Hopetoun Street, Mitcham was pretty special. ❤️

This one started well before auction day.

Our seller has been a loyal client of McGrath, with Hopetoun Street previously managed by our Property Management team, so being trusted to take the property from rental to a successful $1,115,000 sale meant a great deal to all of us.

And then came the auction.

The eventual buyers were first homebuyers who had inspected the property seven times before today. They arrived with both sets of parents, knew this was the location they wanted and were ready to give it everything.

What followed was a two-party battle, with the bidding going back and forth like a ping-pong match right until the end.

And when the hammer finally came down? The winning buyers had just $100 left to chip in.

The screams said everything. They were absolutely ecstatic.

The celebration continued long after the auction finished, with ch*****ne popping and a very excited family marking the beginning of a whole new chapter at Hopetoun Street.

A $1,115,000 sale for a loyal client, an unforgettable first home purchase for the buyers and an incredible effort from Peter, James and the entire team.

Congratulations to everyone involved. This was a special one.

Sold | $1,115,000

790sqm (approx.) in Nunawading, with Nicoll Park and the tennis club directly behind you.

Chris Manolopoulos and James Lewis take us through 24 Zander Avenue, a three-bedroom home where the land, location and future potential are the real story.

There’s plenty here to enjoy as it stands, with light-filled living and dining, three generous bedrooms and established gardens. But on approximately 790sqm, there’s also room to think about what could come next, whether that means renovating or exploring the potential of the site, subject to approval.

And with Nicoll Park virtually extending the outdoor lifestyle beyond the property, plus shops, schools, transport and freeway access all within easy reach, it’s easy to see why this pocket of Nunawading is so appealing.
